Sanka: I know, I'm the driver right?Irv: No, you're the brake man.Sanka: No, no I'm the driver.Irv: No you're not, you're the brake man.Sanka: I'm the driver.Irv: You're not, you're the brake man.Sanka: You don't understand, I am Sanka Coffie, I am the best push-cart driver in all of Jamaica, I must drive. Do you dig where I'm coming from?Irv: Yeah I dig where you're coming from. Now dig where I'm coming from. I'm coming from two gold medals, I'm coming from nine world records in both the two and four-man events. I'm coming from ten years of intense competition with the best athletes in the world.Sanka: Thats a hell of a place to be coming from.

Derice: I'm not worried and we have good coach.Larry: I hate to say it but uh, you've got to wake up, Coach Blitzer is what's killing you. He's been useless since the day he was busted.Derice: Whatcha mean busted?Larry: The '72 Games, guy hid weights in the front of the sled to make it go faster.Derice: So what? It's no big deal.Larry: Having your gold medals taken away for cheating is a big deal!Coach Irv: [sees the conversation] Derice, let's go, we got a big meeting. [Derice leaves, then Irv speaks to Larry] Giving my kid a few pointers, Larry?Larry: Your kid's gonna need all the help he can get...[marches up to Irv]Coach.

Derice: You know, when the Swiss want to ge....[Team groans]Sanka: Ah, will you shut up about the damn Swiss! I mean, it was all that eins zwei drei nonsense that got us all nervous in the first place.Derice: Hey man, look here, I'm just trying to get us off on the right foot.Sanka: Well the right foot for us is not the Swiss foot. I mean come on Derice, we can't be copying nobody else's style. We have our own style.Derice: Kissing an egg is no kind of style. It's the Olympics here, it's no stupid push-cart derby. [Long pause]Sanka: Let me tell you something rasta, I didn't come up here to forget who I am and where I come from.Derice: Neither did I, I'm just trying to be the best I can be.Sanka: So am I, and the best I can be is Jamaican. Look, Derice...I've known you since Julie Jeffreys asked to see your ding-a-ling and I'm telling you as a friend if we look Jamaican, walk Jamaican, talk Jamaican and IS Jamaican, then we sure as hell better bobsled Jamaican.

Irv: Derice, a gold medal is a wonderful thing. But if you're not enough without it, you'll never be enough with it.Derice: Hey coach, how will I know if I'm enough?Irv: When you cross that finish line, you'll know.
